Chapter 171: Lessons
At the mention of Sima's, the happy atmosphere vanished.
Wei Ji said a word, and then changed the subject: "I heard that Uncle Yu has no interest in collecting antiques, and he doesn't know anything about poetry and songs, but he likes military books." β
"Tomorrow, take a look at how many military books are still stored at home, prepare some commonly used things, and add a few military books, which will probably be enough."
The ceremony here looks a little thin, but it is not good to be too excited between the Wei family and the Yu family, don't be scared so that Sima Ling can't sleep when the time comes, and if you are stupid like now, it will not end well.
Xie Zhiyun said with a smile: "When we got married before, I brought a lot of military books over, and more than half of them have already been copied, let me pick a few and add them to the list." β
Xie's books are naturally good books, and Wei Ji has been reading all the books she brought recently, so he nodded: "There is Mrs. Lao." β
The halberd paused, then burst out laughing.
Xie Zhiyun was inexplicable: "What are you laughing at?" β
"Madam, I feel like I'm eating soft, and I have to live on Madame every day."
Xie Zhiyun: "......"
Xie Zhiyun was helpless: "You don't want to talk nonsense." β
The halberd burst out laughing, causing Xie Zhiyun to laugh too.
The husband and wife talked and laughed for a while, and while the bedroom was cool, they rested early.
A few days later, Zheng Niangzi came to report to her, saying that Lin Meiniang was willing to enter the house to be a cook, her skills were quite good, especially the white case kung fu was very good, and Chef Zhao, who was transferred from Ji's before, liked her very much, and the two of them had been studying for several days, and they were a little sympathetic.
Unlike Chef Zhao, Lin Meiniang is a pastry craft in the Northland, and the two learn from each other, which really complements each other.
Again, when she entered the house, not only Xie Zhiyun was more relieved, but Ruan Niangzi and Lin Meiniang were also more assured.
Hearing this good news, Xie Zhiyun was also very happy, and specially told Mrs. Zheng.
Zheng Niangzi said with a smile: "Young lady, don't worry, these things must be in the house all year round, and the slaves and maids know how to check people, and they will not be suspicious." β
With them here, Xie Zhiyun is naturally relieved.
When Lin Meiniang entered the mansion, Xie Zhiyun was finally busy for a while, and it happened that she was going to make a list of gifts to the Yu family with Cui Ji on this day, and she walked to Rongjingtang after taking a lunch break.
Today is also a bit unfortunate.
When she arrived at Rongjingtang, Wei Ningan and Wei Ningshu seemed to be there, and Cui Ji was arguing with Wei Ningan again.
Before Xie Zhiyun entered the door, he heard Wei Ningan's voice from inside: "Mother, my second sister-in-law has not been here these days, what's wrong with me resting for a few days?" Who said that you have to practice martial arts every day? Besides, I have my own things to do. β
Hearing this, Xie Zhiyun didn't want to go in, but the little maid guarding the door had already seen her, and opened her mouth and shouted, "Young lady." β
Xie Zhiyun had no choice but to enter Rongjingtang and was taken to the private room by Mama Zhao.
The mother and daughter were all there, Wei Ningshu was sitting with Cui Ji with an embarrassed face, while Wei Ningan was standing on the side with a look of grievance.
Cui Ji has been a little tired recently, and he is angry with his daughter, so his face is not very good-looking at this time, and he is rubbing his heart.
Wei Ningshu was frightened, and while helping her pat her heart, she went to see Wei Ning'an.
"An An, let's say a few words, my mother is tired enough."
Wei Ningan pouted, and was about to say something, when Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Xie Zhiyun's arrival, she turned her back and remained silent.
Cui Ji didn't expect Xie Zhiyun to come over today, but when he saw her coming, Cui Ji felt a lot better.
She beckoned to Xie Zhiyun and asked her to sit beside her.
"Come and talk to me, this injustice makes me feel bad when I see her."
Cui Ji sighed: "Up and down the family, all of them are sensible and well-behaved, and they have never let me worry about it, why is this little bit just ignorant." β
Xie Zhiyun hurriedly let the maid serve ginseng tea, let Cui Jirun moisten her mouth, and also stopped her words.
"Mother, if you have something to say slowly, Sister An is still young, and her personality is lively, and she speaks more bluntly."
"Isn't this also very good, after all, a young man is simple, and it is better than a philistine."
Cui Ji took a sip of ginseng tea, finally relieved himself, and looked up to see Wei Ningan standing there pouting silently, so he snorted coldly: "You ask her what she did?" β
Xie Zhiyun looked at Wei Ningshu.
Wei Ningshu immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother was fine, and she saw that her eldest sister-in-law was full of concern, so she looked at Wei Ningan.
"Ning An, you say it yourself."
Wei Ningan was looked at by them, and he was also a little aggrieved.
"I don't want to have fun by myself, just because my mother worked too hard a few days ago, and I always feel distressed when I come back at night, I want to make my mother feel more comfortable, so I went to the retreat temple and asked for a box of soothing incense for my mother."
"I also want my mother to sleep better."
The more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, and she couldn't help crying: "Mother always thinks that my sister is good, my brother is good, and my sister-in-law is good, but I am the only one in this family." β
"I know I'm not good, but my mother can't always talk about me."
"This time I'm obviously for my mother."
Xie Zhiyun sighed in his heart, and immediately knew why.
"But An An, I didn't report to my family, I went out with the maid and the maid without permission, the house was so busy in those days, I was the only one at home, when I found out that you were gone, do you know how worried I am?"
This was said by Wei Ningshu.
In those days, it happened to be when Cui Ji led Xie Zhiyun out to talk about business, and there was indeed only Wei Ningshu at home, Wei Ningan could even say a word to Wei Ningshu, but Wei Ningshu didn't know that she was going out.
That day was also a coincidence, Cui Ji and Xie Zhiyun came back early, Wei Ningshu was worried, so she naturally told Cui Ji.
Cui Ji is also anxious this time.
But fortunately, Wei Ningan came back when she was about to send someone to look for her, otherwise the house would be a mess again.
Cui Ji was worried about cotton that day, so he didn't talk to her much, only let her be grounded in her bedroom and not go anywhere.
Today, Wei Ningan felt wronged, begging Wei Ningshu to lead her to be a lobbyist, wanting her mother to let her out.
As a result, the mother and daughter quarreled without saying a word.
Wei Ningan also has some reasons, but she is naΓ―ve, she has never felt that the world is difficult, and she has never seen suffering, so she does not feel that she is wrong.
"I just want to surprise my mother, and I also want to surprise my eldest sister, who has also been tired and thin recently, and I also invited Xi Hexiang to you."
Wei Ningshu frowned, she didn't know how to speak.
Xie Zhiyun spoke for their mother and daughter: "Sister An, I told you last time, now that the situation is tense, the subordinates of the family must report when they go out to buy, and you, as the young lady in the house, must talk to the elders of the family when you go out." β
Xie Zhiyun's tone was very calm: "We know that you are kind, but things are not done like this, if you really have an accident, where will the family look for you?" β
